oh wow this is one of those topics that can ruffle feathers, I am the most casual slob on the planet  :P If people visit and my house is a mess and they don't like it, TOUGH! But if you like your house immaculate, great go for it and I will even admire you but I won't aspire to be like you  :-\

Each to their own and for the record, I grew up in an immaculate house where the dust wasn't even allowed to settle  :'(

Not upstairs, but if you slept in the living room yes.

It is interesting to read how other people manage their homes.  Since going back to work I have hired a cleaning lady.  She comes for 2 hours each week and does a super job. God bless cleaners!! I don't mind cleaning but find it rather depressing with young kids. I used to scrub my heart out and then get upset when the kids came charging in and messed it all up. It doesn't bother me so much when somebody else has done the scrubbing.  :-))  ;D

Uni, shirt folders do make it easy, but hard cardboard also does the trick.

No I don't have one, but have used them before. :)

My kid are about to do folding clothes....

My house has its good and bad days depending on what life is like at the time.  I would love less clutter (do I have to have multiple instruments in EVERY room)  and would love a more designer look but it's homely and normally relatively clean.  I have two teenagers, three dogs, a cat, birds and a husband... I don't have a hope in hell of home beautiful.  When I need my home beautiful break, I go to my mothers whose house is always immaculate or my sister who has some magical power (unnatural I assure myself) over her two teenagers and always has a tidy house (she yells a lot more than I do).
